Mumbulla koala update

Logging has begun in earnest in Mumbulla forest, home of the last known koala population between Canberra and the Victorian border. This from Harriett Swift, one of the protesters:
“We have been back in the koala forest again this week in a holding operation, slowing down the logging by delaying the arrival of the loggers in the forest.
The logging continues and it is heart breaking to see the trucks going out with the trees on board.
Yesterday our experience was made a little lighter by a chamber music performance in the forest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN628pMB3U8
conducted by local maestro, Geoffrey Badger. It was quite surreal and incredibly funny, apart from the logging.
